Medulloblastoma cut cleanly may recur.
Medulloblastoma occurs in children under the age of 14 years and is commonly found in the cerebellum’s earthworm region. It grows rapidly and has a high degree of malignancy. If medulloblastoma is resected cleanly, with postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the body has good immunity, the recurrence rate of medulloblastoma will be reduced, but there is still a possibility of recurrence.
The recurrence of medulloblastoma is mostly within 6~9 months after surgery, and the longest time can be up to 10 years. The recurrence is mostly at the site of the primary lesion and may be single or multiple. Active adjuvant radiotherapy is needed after surgery, which can prolong the time of medulloblastoma recurrence.
The recurrence time of medulloblastoma is related to the immunity of the body and the treatment effect. Patients need to actively cooperate with doctors and have regular checkups.
